I ask this because I ran Sensors View and found that my -12v is running at 6.07 (normal range is -15 to -9) and my VBAT is running at .06 (normal range 2.0 to 4.0) My issue is this: For the past year I have had issues with my graphics going wiggy...

My issue is this: For the past year I have had issues with my graphics going wiggy while playing World of Warcraft. Often it would result in the game locking up, most often in my whole computer locking up, requiring a hard reboot. I updated video drivers whenever I could, it seemed to get better then would get worse again. Sometimes the game would just "lag" a lot then I'd lock up, tabbing out gave me a screen with washed out colors and squares and lines, sometimes garbled text, and I'd have to reboot. More recently, this is not happening, now the game will stutter, or lag, and will lock, sometimes hard with the sound screeching, or the environment in the game, rendered items not the background, will start flashing on and off. Occasionally there will be lines or dark triangles coming off of nearby rendered items/creatures (I hope I'm using the term rendered correctly) shortly before a crash/lockup. There have been a few times when I was able to alt-f4 out and found the error stating my display dirver had stopped working.

I have not had this happen anywhere except World of Warcraft, but it is the only graphics intensive game I play on this computer so I've not tested others.

I ran Memcheck for 24 hrs, no memory problems. Also ran DXDiag. no issues.

We replaced the Power Supply about a year ago.
it is a Norwood Micro Model number ISO-P350S
I saw somewhere where you asked for the 12V numbers from someone with similar lockups to mine: 12V(1) - 6.0A ; 12V(2) 12A ; -12V .5A

My temperatures are all within normal ranges according to Sensors View.

My system:
P4 3.0
1GB DDRam
WDC WD800JB-OOETAO Hard Drive
NVidia 7800GS
Onboard Marvell Yukon PCI ethernet controller
Soundblaster Audigy2 sound card
Windows XP SP2

Thank you, please let me know if you need more.
